Seat Harness/Under Layer / Sliding Bar
Under Seat Harness:
In a great fitting wet suit, I go commando. Down winders, or potential for long hot walk/hitching rides back; I wear very light weight fast dry running shorts.
Seat Harness:
I’ve tried the Dakine Nitrous harness shorts – No low back support, too much slack in the loaded support system. Not great for long hard pinching into the wind. Not for beginners. I prefer the Fusion’s low hook option for large traversing & swell riding.
Sliding Hook:
For 8 years (windsurfing and kiting). I been using my own custom sliding bars hacked program / Dakine Short bar on a strap. Dynabar has shortcomings but is on a respectable track. Now, I’m kiting w/ the 2014 Dakine sliding hook (eh? It works ok. But, still needs re-work / predictable shortcomings confirmed by use). However, arguably, the best/cost effective off the shelf choice. Word is; North has one in the works. I expect North's engineering acumen will exceed Dakine's design approach. Yes Dakine…I can help you evolve your current slider. |

I've used the nitrous for years. Usually in a full 4/3 wetsuit or shorty. I've slammed the water a thousand times in ever way, never slammed my privates
I think you'd be fine swinging 'em. The nitrous are board shorts, the cinching up strap on the thighs should keep water from shooting up there. |
